sword of truth miniseries?

I saw on ReadersRead.com that director Sam Raimi has optioned the film rights for Terry Goodkind's Sword of Truth series. OMG!! I had no idea who Terry Goodkind was in 1998 when I worked weekends at Waldenbooks, but I bought a copy of Wizard's First Rule for him to sign when he came in for a book signing one afternoon. When I finally got around to reading it, I was enthralled. I absolutely loved -- adored -- LOVED -- the first four or five in his Sword of Truth series. (Didn't like the one before last so much and haven't read the newest one yet.)

I hope the movie does the book series justice and I don't have to post "why did they do that?" a year from now.
